Every object is unique.

Often a simple test can reveal details about the history and composition of objects that are invisible to the naked eye, helping us tailor our treatments to best fit the needs of your artworks.

Our studio is equipped to provide UV and IR photography, photo and video documentation, and microscopic examination. SEM, XRD, FT-IR, GC-MS and other more specific testing are available as needed through our partnerships with The McCrone Group, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the analytic lab at Winterthur Museum and Gardens, and other laboratories.
